Long over due Ulta Haul...

Ulta...

You are...The pep in my step...The Tator in to my Tot!

Oh how I LOVE you...I do not LOVE what you do to my bank account

and my husband thinks we are having a love affair.
But Oh...How...I...Love...you...so!

While on one of my weekend Ulta binges I picked up some new NYX products.
New to me anyways...

NYX cream stick blush in: Orchid

Thoughts: Although the color is pretty and looks nice when I put it on, it doesn't last longer then a hour on my skin. I had to carry this around and constantly reapply it. The formula is a little tacky as it is a cream...but I had high expectations for this. WHOMP for sure.

NYX Bronzing Blush Duo: When Leopard gets a Tan.

Thoughts: I first thought this was like the Too Faced Duo judging by the appearance alone.

I have had that in the past and loved it. When I brought this home it is a little darker on my skin then I had thought it would be. With A LOT of blending it works out OK. But I wont repurchase it.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: Instanbul

I love this stuff. Its like a gloss but its matte like a lipstick. Genius idea.

The product itself kind of smells weird but looks great. It is kind of a sacrifice I guess...

I have since gone back to Ulta and picked up a few more of these...

NYX Lip Stick in: Strawberry Milk

I wanted a really light pink shade for my smokey eye looks. I found Strawberry Milk. You can see the difference between it and Instanbul. Strawberry Milk is a very creamy light pink tone. Glides on smooth and the color lasting power is the average 4-5 hours for me.

For my girl I found...

Essence Lip Gloss Trio's.

These are really cute lip glosses, perfect for my little tween.

Essence to me seems like what Wet N Wild was when I was 13.

Generated for the younger group.

The packaging is adorable. One is Parisian Theme and the other New York.

Really inexpensive, I think I paid $1.99.

My daughter loves them and they fit perfect in her little jean pockets.

I will admit...gosh I did take one for myself...

I am seriously LOVING Ulta...
